President Trump Says The U.S. Will Strike Iran Very Hard TODAY

Play time is over.

President Trump on Wednesday shared that the United States will continue to strike Iran very hard.

Trump’s remarks come after the United States launched a series of airtsrikes against Iranian military targets on Tuesday night after Iran reportedly downed a U.S. apache helicopter that was patrolling the Starit of Hormuz.

The 47th President further shared the timeline the United States will commence attacks on Iran and revealed the attacks will begin today.

NBC News reported more on Trump’s comments on Iran:

Trump said that the U.S. plans to continue attacking Iran “very hard” in the wake of the downing of an American helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz.

“Well, we’re going to be attacking them, attacking them very hard,” Trump said when asked by NBC News what he meant this morning when he wrote in a Truth Social post that Iran has to pay the price for the helicopter.
Trump claimed that Iran shot down the helicopter and then said that a “bomb” was “lodged in the helicopter,” but said “it didn’t explode.”

“We hit ‘em hard yesterday and we’re going to hit ‘em hard again today,” he said.

BBC reported Iran has not been sitting back idle after being attacked by the United States but have launched retaliatory attacks of their own:

The US says it has carried out a series of strikes on Iranian military and surveillance sites in response to the downing of an American helicopter in the Gulf.
Air defence systems, ground control stations and radar sites were targeted near the Strait of Hormuz, the US military Central Command (Centcom) said.

In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it launched strikes on 21 targets at US bases in the region, one in Bahrain and the other in Jordan, while Kuwait’s army said it was also intercepting an attack.

The US has described its strikes as “a proportional response” for the Apache helicopter downing on Monday, while the IRGC described the attacks as “vicious”.

US President Donald Trump had earlier accused Iran of shooting down the helicopter and said the US “must, of necessity” respond. The two crew members survived and were rescued by an American sea drone.

According to US officials, Iran used a drone to launch the attack on the helicopter. But it is not clear whether the Iranian drone had deliberately attacked, an unnamed US official told CBS News, the BBC’s US partner. The semi-official Mehr News Agency reported that Iran had not claimed responsibility for the downed aircraft.

Trump said the helicopter had been patrolling the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping channel that was effectively closed days after the US and Israel launched its first strikes on Iran in late February.

As Trump made his remarks, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made his way to CENTCOM’s headquarters:
